Pyrmont Point Hotel - Pyrmont Point Beef Burger

Pyrmont Point Beef Burger ($19 includes chips)
char grilled beef pattie, caramelised onions. gherkins, beetroot, tomato, swiss cheese, mixed leaves, house made aioli and tomato relish on a damper roll 


Guest blogger Dan tells us about his burger experience.

The Point Hotel's beef burger was not the best burger I've ever had, but certainly not the worst. It could basically be described as your "everyday, run-of-the-mill pub burger".

So what was good about it? Well, I love a pickle on a hamburger and this one did not skimp on the pickle. I also enjoyed the combination of both raw red onion and the caramelised brown onion. Nice. The Jarlsberg was also fresh and tasty too....it's always good to see decent cheese on a burger instead of the poor old kraft singles you get a lot of the time.

The burger did have some drawbacks to it though. Namely, the bun. What should have been a badass damper roll, this burger was housed in a tough, low-grade bakery bun which made it hard to get through at times. Also, as you can see in the picture, there was a bit of blackened char on the pattie...some folks like it that way, but not me. Like Hank Hill always says; "taste the meat, not the heat".

Overall, not a bad burger which went down pretty well with a beer or two, but a few little improvements could be made to take it to the next level.


Dan's Score: 3.5/5
